I learnt a new word this morning, as I climbed groaning out of bed. I was giving my arse a healthy scratch when Chris opened a bleary eye, took a look at my grey long johns and said
" you are certainly not known for your sartorial elegance"
I had to ask what sartorial meant
I guess if you have to ask you just haven't " got it"
Anyhow, whilst we are on the subject of " pants" I have to pen a public apology to the doctor's wife Pippa Barnsley to whom I flashed a pair of buttocks at the other day when I was squeezing into a second most favorite pair of long johns in front of the cottage window and she was out on the lane walking her hounds.
Old cottages have low windows
I should think the folk of your village are used to you flashing one part of your anatomy or another!
ReplyDeleteAnd Pippa IS a dictor's wife
DeleteSo you weren't aware that you could be seen from outside changing into your ljs? Pull the other one! (We know you just TOO well by now!)
ReplyDeleteWow whose the bloke in the picture? Is it you? I suspect there is more than a budgie in his long johns, looks like a large squirrel from here!
ReplyDeleteI am always flashing at the neighbours here. It's probably the only bit of flesh the old boy next door sees. I think I brighten his day!
It is in fact a rabbit ( called Mary)
DeleteAh yes, I can see her ears!
DeleteI'm hoping you're not being flashed over Welsh television John.
ReplyDeleteCan't be you John, he's not wearing Crocs!!
ReplyDeleteI was repairing them
DeleteTrelawnyd by Moon(ing) light.
ReplyDeleteWhat the Hell is all that? My name is Penny
ReplyDeleteI don't usually advertise my blog so blatantly but do take a look at my last post John, maybe if you get the hang of knitting you could make yourself this little number.

Briony,, I think it would suit him to a 'T',,,,,
DeleteDid she complain or comment?
ReplyDeleteI am sure she winked at me this morning
DeleteI would like to say something nice about you wearing long johns, but I cannot. But wait. Maybe they are a onesie? You are fashionable and ahead of time.
ReplyDeleteI wear Cuddl Duds. Warm and comfy.
ReplyDeleteI had to learn what 'budgie smugglers' were as well, so don't feel too bad about 'sartorial'. No excuse for mooning at the neighbours, though.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she thought it was chris
DeleteAnd along with your wellies I am sure you really wouldn't be the fashion statement of the lane? xx
ReplyDeleteyour neighbors are lucky!
ReplyDeleteI would suggest that they would disagree
Deletei am guessingyou do not follow the sartorialist? here is his link: http://www.thesartorialist.com/ this guy is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWell, I bet you put a smile on Pippa's face.
ReplyDeleteCheeky devil....no curtains?
ReplyDeleteShe shouldn't have been looking!
ReplyDeleteJane x
I think you look quite elegant in a 'visitor from outer space' kind of way.
ReplyDeleteAs to getting dressed in front of the window, I do it every morning as I like to look at the view across the fields., Folk rarely pass but I reckon that if they do and they get pleasure from someone my age getting dressed, good luck to them.
Flasher pat
DeleteLucky Pippa!
ReplyDeleteSeeing your "long john" I'm sure made her day. Now excuse me while I call your local police so they can warn the neighborhood children
ReplyDeleteThe long johns become your second skin? Good God, man, I hope you wash them at least once during the winter.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It is not you who has to apologize, it is the architects of old huts.
ReplyDeleteHuts!.....?
DeleteThat made me scream lol
hahahahahahahahahha my giggle for the morning.
ReplyDeleteLucky Pippa got a giggle too I think !
cheers, parsnip
I used to love a flash of the undergarments worn by Pa Walton from The Waltons
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_suit
They had little openings at the back...to flash from !
Yes John, do yours have the hatch at the back too? We've got so much information about you, one little bit more shouldn't matter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good laugh (and you didn't even have to flash me)!
ReplyDeleteI'm a warm-blooded person so I don't feel the need for thermal underwear. By the way, there's a common privacy device known as curtains. I recommend them highly.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, that can't possibly be you, he's not eating scotch eggs.
If you've got it flaunt it x
DeleteHahaha love it! Made my day. Long johns are awesome but it makes it difficult to have a pee if you are female!!
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland NZ
(0.o)
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!
Low windows and open curtains.... ;-)
Have a good one, John. :-)
I wonder if the villagers gathered at the local pub compare "John's bum" sightings the way birders compare glimpses of say, Great Tits.
ReplyDeleteFat arse more like x
ReplyDeleteI was standing right behind Pippa and thoughly enjoyed the show. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteOh the long-johns are a life saver during the winter months and those thick socks come in handy too.Now you can get underwear with some sort of thermal warming stuff which heats up gently and keeps your body warm. They are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnd keep those curtains closed, ha ha ha ha. I bet she had a right laugh.
Ah you gave her the bums rush...
